After shipping the four Phase 6 plan drafts (PRs 77-80), the adversarial-review
adjustments lived only as trailing "Review" sections. An implementer reading
Stream A would find the original unadjusted guidance, then have to cross-reference
the review to reconcile. This PR makes the plans genuinely executable:
1. Merges every ACCEPTed review finding into the actual Scope / Stream / Compliance
sections of each phase plan:
- phase-6-1: Scope table rewrite (per-capability retry, (instance,host) pipeline key,
MemoryTracking vs MemoryRecycle split, hybrid watchdog formula, demand-aware
wedge detector, generation-sealed LiteDB). Streams A/B/D + Compliance rewritten.
- phase-6-2: AuthorizationDecision tri-state, control/data-plane separation,
MembershipFreshnessInterval (15 min), AuthCacheMaxStaleness (5 min),
subscription stamp-and-reevaluate. Stream C widened to 11 OPC UA operations.
- phase-6-3: 8-state ServiceLevel matrix (OPC UA Part 5 §6.3.34-compliant),
two-layer peer probe (/healthz + UaHealthProbe), apply-lease via await using,
publish-generation fencing, InvalidTopology runtime state, ServerUriArray
self-first + peers. New Stream F (interop matrix + Galaxy failover).
- phase-6-4: DraftRevisionToken concurrency control, staged-import via
EquipmentImportBatch with user-scoped visibility, CSV header version marker,
decision-#117-aligned identifier columns, 1000-row diff cap,
decision-#139 OPC 40010 fields, Identification inherits Equipment ACL.
2. Appends decisions #143 through #162 to docs/v2/plan.md capturing the
architectural commitments the adjustments created. Each decision carries its
dated rationale so future readers know why the choice was made.
3. Scaffolds scripts/compliance/phase-6-{1,2,3,4}-compliance.ps1 — PowerShell
stubs with Assert-Todo / Assert-Pass / Assert-Fail helpers. Every check
maps to a Stream task ID from the corresponding phase plan. Currently all
checks are TODO and scripts exit 0; each implementation task is responsible
for replacing its TODO with a real check before closing that task. Saved
as UTF-8 with BOM so Windows PowerShell 5.1 parses em-dash characters
without breaking.
Net result: the Phase 6.1 plan is genuinely ready to execute. Stream A.3 can
start tomorrow without reconciling Streams vs. Review on every task; the
compliance script is wired to the Stream IDs; plan.md has the architectural
commitments that justify the Stream choices.

LmxOpcUa
OPC UA server and cross-platform client tools for AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy. The server exposes Galaxy tags via MXAccess as an OPC UA address space. The client stack provides a shared library, CLI tool, and Avalonia desktop application for browsing, reading/writing, subscriptions, alarms, and historical data.

Server
The OPC UA server runs on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) and bridges the Galaxy runtime to OPC UA clients.
Server Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (
LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer) - Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
- Windows (required for COM interop and MXAccess)
Build and Run Server
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
The server starts on opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa with the None security profile by default. Configure Security.Profiles in appsettings.json to enable Basic256Sha256-Sign or Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt for transport security. See Security Guide.
Install as Windows Service
cd src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host/bin/Debug/net48
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install
ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe start
Service logon requirement: The service must run under a Windows account that has access to the AVEVA Galaxy and Historian. The default LocalSystem account can connect to MXAccess and SQL Server but cannot authenticate with the Historian SDK (HCAP). Configure the service to "Log on as" a domain or local user that is a recognized ArchestrA platform user. This can be set in services.msc or during install with ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host.exe install -username DOMAIN\user -password ***.
Run Server Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.IntegrationTests
Client Stack
The client stack is cross-platform (.NET 10) and consists of three projects sharing a common IOpcUaClientService abstraction. No AVEVA software or COM is required — the clients connect to any OPC UA server.
Client Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- No platform-specific dependencies (runs on Windows, macOS, Linux)
